About CHERRY COTTON CANDY, CHERRY
Favorite Day Cherry Cotton Candy is a confectionery product sold under Target's Favorite Day private-label dessert and treat brand. This entry represents an earlier USDA formulation of the cherry cotton candy product, using powdered sugar as a secondary ingredient alongside refined sugar, Red 40 synthetic dye, and natural and artificial flavors. Cotton candy is produced by heating granulated sugar above its melting point and spinning it through fine perforations, creating continuous sugar filaments that cool into an airy, fibrous texture.
The powdered sugar component (sugar and corn starch) serves as a manufacturing aid in commercial cotton candy production, helping maintain texture and prevent clumping during storage. Red 40 (Allura Red AC) is a synthetic azo dye approved by the FDA for use in candy. The natural and artificial flavor combination provides the cherry taste profile. This Favorite Day-branded listing is otherwise nutritionally and compositionally equivalent to similar cherry cotton candy products from other Target sub-brands in the USDA database.
At 393 calories per 100g, this is a very high calorie-density confection due to near-pure sugar composition. Per 100g macros are 0g protein, 100g carbohydrates, and 0g fat, with no dietary fiber. No major food allergens are apparent from the ingredient declaration. The product is technically gluten-free and vegan based on listed ingredients, though it has no nutritional value beyond pure carbohydrate energy. The Favorite Day brand is Target's dessert-focused private-label line covering bakery, candy, and treat items.
